I'm not arguing that fact!!!  As I said (part that you "conveniently"
snipped <wink>), I think that the origins of the words are really similar.

I was talking of *modern* English.  :-)  Of course, this would throw us in
another debate on which terms should we use, the terms used at the time, or
our modern equivalent.  I'm *not* going there today, I'm way to much in a
crappy mood ;-)

Got to go.
